What the province should do is commit the original funding which would have funded the on street option and tell Brampton to go find funding for the balance if they want it tunneled.

I thought that parking lot is supposed to be a park or no?

I wouldn't be surprised if these end up taking 10 years before they are fixed. This is Toronto after all. They are also found at the Scotia Bank arena Bay street side and also at the Rogers Centre.They are ugly, hideous, and there needs to be a better solution.

Canada may be below Australia but even in Canada i find firms from Montreal to be doing better than Toronto based firms. They seem more to think outside of the box both for buildings and public spaces. I wish it was possible for them to get more work here.

Or even Amsterdam which I am more familiar with. Go even outside the city centre into the suburbs and the design standards for buildings, public is way above here in Toronto. I guess that's also government defined aesthetics. If that's what government defined aesthetics is I want that here. Most...

The city may not have the power to legislative aesthetics but there is more than they can do the lackadaisical attitude they currently have. They can set an examples for developers to follow starting with city projects and our public spaces. Look at the Nathan Philips Square revitalization. Does...

A lot of cities care about how their cities look and will do everything to make sure these kinds of buildings aren't built by enforcing. In Toronto the only thing the city is concerned about is height and wringing money away from the developers for their section 37 funds, how the building looks...

They have said that they can complete it by 2027 and even if they slip behind by 2 to 3 years they can still match the shorter relief line opening of 2029. I will take that over a line which is shorter. Can you let me know when the Relief North will open or when any future possible western...

wa Transit is now the number one issue for voters: https://toronto.citynews.ca/2018/09/26/transit-the-number-1-issue-for-toronto-voters-polls-find/ Politicians can't ignore it. Look how much transit is being built not just in Toronto but the GTA and even in Toronto. Compare this to the 80s...

You can order UBER without a phone at the airport: https://www.blogto.com/city/2019/08/uber-kiosk-pearson-airport-toronto/ Maybe they can place these at Union Station.

Is the DRL the be all and end all of Toronto transit expansion. If the line gets full, then build another one and expand the system.

Or build another line, like most sane cities have been doing.

All this talk about tax and our Toronto's shabbiness looks to be a red herring. I don't think even if we increased taxes here in the city of Toronto our public spaces would all of a sudden improve, the money will of a sudden be spent on our public spaces. From the citizenry, to the politicians...

True but I don't see the benefit in elevating the line just for the sake of elevating. High 27 here is relatively wide here and can be expanded so now car lanes will be lost. Elevating the line to Woodbine will not save that much time since the line is just a short distance. It is just not worth...

If the developer is willing to bear some of the cost for the extension then the extension to Woodbine/Pearson should happen first.

Why would this extension to Woodbine be elevated, wouldn't most of it be at grade? There is only like 2 intersections to contend with before getting onto the Woodbine Lands and if it was to be even elevated onto the future Woodbine station would be, it should be a relatively short stretch. This...

How about Doug Ford?

This is my favourite neighbourhood in Toronto..Close to Union Station, the Gardiner, the lake, public realm is way above Toronto standards, also very clean..

We have a transit czar, what we need is a public realm or design czar to help look after and look to improve the public realm in this city.
